This ground-breaking book sheds light on the origins of male depression (including abusive experiences in childhood), how it’s a much more common problem than most realize, and how our culture continues to cover it up and prevent men from understanding themselves and healing.

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy

by David Burns, 1999

One of the best-selling self-help books ever, full of helpful insights and useful methods for dealing with depression and what can cause and maintain it. It’s a very practical book grounded in ‘cognitive-behavioral’ therapy models and interventions. While it doesn’t do justice to the true complexity of depression, including in men with histories of child abuse, it has lots of helpful information and techniques.
